   filename   is the name of a C-kernel file to be loaded.

   handle     is an integer handle assigned to the file upon loading. 
              Almost every other CK routine will subsequently use 
              this number to refer to the file. 
 </PRE>
<h4><a name="Parameters">Parameters</a></h4>
<PRE>
 
   ftsize     is the maximum number of pointing files that can 
              be loaded by CKLPF at any given time for use by the 
              readers. 
 </PRE>
<h4><a name="Exceptions">Exceptions</a></h4>
<PRE>
 
   1) If an attempt is made to load more files than is specified 
      by the parameter ftsize, the error &quot;SPICE(CKTOOMANYFILES)&quot; 
      is signalled. 
 
   2) If an attempt is made to open more DAF files than is specified 
      by the parameter ftsize in DAFAH, an error is signalled by a 
      routine that this routine calls. 
 
   3) If the file specified by filename can not be opened, an error 
      is signalled by a routine that this routine calls. 
 
   4) If the file specified by filename has already been loaded, 
      it will become the &quot;last-loaded&quot; file.  (The readers 
      search the last-loaded file first.) 
 </PRE>
<h4><a name="Files">Files</a></h4>
<PRE>
 
   The C-kernel file specified by filename is loaded.  The file is 
   assigned an integer handle by CKLPF.  Other CK routines will refer 
   to this file by its handle. 
 </PRE>
<h4><a name="Particulars">Particulars</a></h4>
<PRE>
 
   See Particulars in ckbsr. 
 
   If there is room for a new file, CKLPF opens the file for 
   reading.  This routine must be called prior to a call to CKGP or 
   CKGPAV. 
 
   CK readers search files loaded with CKLPF in the reverse order 
   in which they were loaded.  That is, last-loaded files are 
   searched first.

   -CSPICE Version 2.0.1, 31-JAN-2008 (BVS)

       Removed '-Revisions' from the header.

   -CSPICE Version 2.0.0, 08-FEB-1998 (NJB)  
   
       Input argument filename changed to type ConstSpiceChar *;
       name was changed to &quot;filename&quot; from &quot;fname.&quot;
   
       References to C2F_CreateStr_Sig were removed; code was
       cleaned up accordingly.  String checks are now done using
       the macro CHKFSTR.
